Windows 8: A little more help....


Make desktop shortcuts for both your own username Temp, and your Windows Temp, and after you've given them nice icons, right-click each of those, and choose 'Pin to Start', and you will have tiles on the Start screen for them, like those above in the bottom row of tiles in the second group from the left. Why? So you can dump those junk files, many of them empty folders, and reduce the clutter in the system. Anything essential, like an anti-virus folder, will resist being deleted, and you'll know you should keep it there. But everything else can go merrily into the Recycle Bin, and you can say 'Goodbye Forever' to it.

Would you like to do other tweaks? You should have The Ultimate Windows Tweaker. It works in Windows 7, and has been used successfully by many of us in Windows 8. It does lots of neat tweaks, and you'll like it.

Today's Question Everything is: Why can't I get the tile for USA Today to actually open up the site and show me something? I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, all without results. Is there a bug in that App?

It worked fine a few days ago, so color me puzzled....
